The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an iterative software development process offered by IBM Rational. The RUP is an extensive refinement of the (generic) Unified Process. IBM has moved RUP to open source and make it freely available starting 2005.

The RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process framework, intended to be tailored by the development organizations and software project teams that will select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs.
